I've indeed tried oldest ATI driver versions but result is worse : - versions before 8.42 does not support xorg7.3- compiz is not supposed to work with 8.42 (i tried anyway and get a beautiful white screen)- compiz is supposed to work with last 8.43 driver (see here) but I can't make it. Compiz does not want to load itself...

Some ATI cards have problem with AIGLX... it just doesn't work.. you need to run XGL instead, which is an entirely different story... and I can't help you much there... never had to run that.

Actually compiz ran fine and smoot on my laptot with xorg7.3 on Linux Mint (Ubuntu) with no XGL. AIGLX support is supposed to be fixed in the last ATI drivers... Indeed I could try with XGL but it's hard to setup (and not much doc for slackware).

I did have this working on 5.9 a while back so i am pretty sure its doable.do you have packages made?if not it will be a bit before i can try to see if i can get it working on my ati laptop.

no good news from the ati front.I couldnt get it working with your packages, so I tried them on an nvidia machine and they wouldnt work there either.I got some new packages with the 5.9 Deluxe and I got them working on nvidia right away, but no luck with ati yet.

from what I have read it is supposed to be a driver problem, but I havent found any drivers that work yet.I will try to get the new open source radeon drivers put together later in the week and see if they help.
